Samit Basu / Joma West
Manage episode 337329477 series 2995764
Strap on your shiny sunglasses: we’re headed to near-future Delhi, an upscale apartment block where no one touches one another, and then right back here to this most pivotal moment for humanity.
ITINERARY:
- Samit Basu (The City Inside) talks about being told your book is a dystopia when you didn’t write it that way and what it means to be on social media in the age of scripted reality.
- Joma West (Face) shares how the ethics of technological child-rearing can be made even scarier with some language choices and why she structured her novel in overlapping points-of-view.
- Douglas Rushkoff (Survival of the Richest) offers some thoughts about how ordinary people can retake control of the technology that’s meant to help us instead of letting the uber-rich exploit both it and us.
